Major building, busy road.

Due to pay day still being a good 3 weeks away we decided to have a quiet weekend and explore Suwon a bit.  First stop, our apartment building.

Floor 1 (aka ground floor) has a lot.  A book store (misleadingly named "Candy House"), a stationary store, a burger joint, a japanese place, a pizza place, a dairy, a chemist and several over the counter fast food joints.

It also has Tekken 2.  This is Cam and his new friend.  



Floor 2 has about 3 korean bbq restaurants and the upstairs of the burger joint.  We went to one of the korean bbq restaurants the other night, you get like, hunks of fatty pork and a whole lot of side dishes.  Take a piece of lettuce, put a bit of meat and a few side dishes (ie. garlic, onion, kimchi, some spicy sauce and some meat salt) on it, wrap it up and eat.  Yummo.

Floor 3 had a some english schools.

Floor F (4 - but they don't use the number for buildings.  something about death.. I can't remember) had 2 dentists, and a pharmacy.

Floor 5 had more english schools (3 of them)

Floor 6 more english schools.

Floor 7 we hit the jackpot.  Ping pong world for starters.  We were going to play but were unsure whether there was a tournament going on, or if just all Asians actually are amazing at ping pong.  Across from that is a yoga studio.  And down the hall was virtual golf!


Floors 8, 9 and 10 were all more english schools.  We live on Floor 11 which along with Floor 12 is only apartments.

This was happening in our apartment
